When home becomes unusable — we're your temporary home

Water damage, fire, flooding or building defects are a stressful enough event. Many home policies include "alternative housing" (loss of use) coverage — the insurer pays for temporary accommodation until your home is livable again. The problem? Finding a furnished apartment for an unknown period, overnight. That's exactly why we're here.

How does it work?

Also for a planned renovation

Renovating your home by choice? A one- to three-month stay in a furnished apartment near your home turns the renovation period from a nightmare into something bearable — the kids stay at the same schools, and you're a stone's throw from the contractor.

When you need alternative housing — and what to check

"Alternative housing" (loss of use) coverage comes into play in a range of situations. Here are the common cases and what's worth checking:

Water damage and flooding

The most common reason — a burst pipe, a leak or flooding that requires lengthy drying and repair.

Fire and smoke damage

Even a small fire usually calls for lengthy restoration of the apartment, and temporary housing in the meantime.

Building defects and repairs

A new apartment with defects, or a structural repair that requires temporarily vacating the home.

What to check in your policy

Make sure you have "loss of use" coverage, and check the daily/monthly cap and the coverage duration. We'll provide a quote and invoice that fit the adjuster's requirements — so reimbursement goes smoothly. For a longer stay see medium-term rental.

A ready apartment — a glimpse

"We came as an extended family — 4 adults and 3 kids. The apartment is wonderful with an amazing view of the sea and the Old City. May was available the whole time and helped with everything we needed. Thank you for everything!"

Frequently asked questions

Does the insurer pay you directly?
It depends on the policy and the company. In some cases the insurer pays directly, in others you pay and get reimbursed. We provide all the required documents — a quote, an agreement and a tax invoice — so reimbursement goes smoothly.
How quickly can I move in?
In emergencies — usually within 24–48 hours, subject to availability in the requested area. We're set up for urgent requests on weekends too.
What if we don't know how long the repair will take?
That's exactly our strength — a flexible agreement with month-by-month extension, no penalties and no commitment to a long period in advance.
Are the apartments suitable for a family with children?
Yes — we have fully furnished 2–4 room apartments, and we'll try to find a property close to your home so you can keep the school and kindergarten routine.
Do you work with adjusters and claims handlers?
Yes. We're used to working with adjusters, claims handlers and insurers — and we'll make sure all the paperwork is organized and fast.
Can the alternative housing be near my current home?
We'll do our best — we know how important it is to keep the school, kindergarten and work routine. Tell us the area and we'll look for a property as close as possible.
What's included in the alternative-housing apartment?
A fully furnished apartment — beds and linens, an equipped kitchen, a washing machine, internet and everything you need for daily life. Move in with a suitcase and carry on.
